paypal still cant see bank holders name?
 

Ive read paypal cant see the name on the bank account and you can transfer money to any bank account but is there any issue with receiving transfers on the banking side from a paypal with a different name?

It very much depends on the bank. The vast majority are fine with the name mismatch but some banks just don't allow and can return funds or even freeze / close accounts.

That's depends on the bank you use, some are fine with mismatching names, some are not.

It can also depend on the type of bank account you use. Do a bit of research here at the forum to see what banks work well, or wait for a US member to pop up with a few suggestions.

It does depend on the bank but in the US generally they can not see the information and it is not a problem. The bank is the one that usually has the problem with receiving from another name. Are you using a US stealth account?

No one can see account holders name except bank itself, its up to banks to accept incoming payments, usually they allow mismatched names if letters are not different by more than two letters.

Most bank accounts will have no issues - this is a cornerstone of stealth method - using real bank account for a pp registered in stealth name...

If your name is Michael Smith, you can change it to Mechael Smoth and bank will accept it, cos they think its just typing error, i spoke with bank staff about mismatching names, they have told that if name is written with mistakes then its ok, but if it's completely different name they will refuse it, this is about BAC payments, with Faster Payments you can put any name, cos Faster Payments is instant payment system between banks.
